Pratt to Play in Hula Bowl
Football guard Richard Pratt has accepted an invitation to play in the Hula Bowl Jan. 7 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Receiving the invitation was a pleasant and nice surprise, Pratt said.
"Since I was not named to any of the top All-America teams it was quite an honor," he said.
THE 6-1,270-POUND Olathe senior does not know when he has to report for practice at Honolulu. He has returned the bowl literature but has not received an answer.
Similarly, halfback Mike Johnson received an invitation but is undecided about playing in
the 20th annual game. He is waiting for more information from bowl officials and will probably decide Saturday or Sunday.
"I WAS HAPPY to receive the invitation. It came as a complete surprise. I didn't think I had such a good year," said the 5-10, 186-pound Garden City senior.
Pratt has signed to play professional football with Saskatchewan of the Canadian Football League. Johnson signed as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League.
The Hula Bowl features the nation's top seniors from the east and west.
Robinson, Harmon Receive Awards
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Baseball hall of famer Jackie Robinson and Tom Harmon, one of the most famous running backs in the history of college football, were among the 25 distinguished former athletes selected as winners of the Sports Illustrated Silver Anniversary All-America awards
announced today.
Robinson, who played his college ball at UCLA, and Harmon, a two-time All-America at the University of Michigan, were the most prominent names on the 10th annual list of award winners chosen "not for sports performance but for exceptional accomplishment in life in the 25 years since their senior collegiate gridiron days."

The Shanty
The first car at the bottom of the world.
The Australian National Research Expedition really had no choice.
And the Volkswagen just happens to fill the bill.
They wanted a car that "any member of the party could hop into and drive off without a moment's hesitation."
The big trick is the VW's air-cooled rear engine. It has no radiator. It uses no water or antifreeze. It just goes.
(Antarctica #1 stood for days in 40° below zero weather and started without a tremble.)
The rear engine gave the VW so much extra traction it climbed "straight up and down the slopes." (But they cheated a little; sometimes they put chains on the back wheels.)
Another reason the VW went where even the dogs wouldn't is the sealed bottom. It took an awful beating, but that's what it's there for. To protect the works inside against the weather outside.
The conditions got so fierce that one man said, "Now we know what it'll be like when Hell freezes over."
So if it ever does, you know what car to buy.
